We require quite a bit of "Schooling" also. The schooling is good in theory but doesn't always prep them for the real deal. Thanks for the input. Rob

Captain703 replied to Travis Bowers's discussion 'PLEASE MOVE OVER FOR THE BIG RED ENGINE!!!'
Man that sucks. We can actually have dispatch get ahold of PD if a car passes us while running lights and sirens if we have a plate number. If the cops can't find the vehicle, I think they send a ticket in the mail. I think.
